(I like this sketch. Was just quick but it came out a bit Quentin Blake !)

Sooooo a while back I had a dream about a bee character who was a sad clown, and she looked like one of those ‘cartoon bee with a dog nose’ sort. I doodled her, but didn’t really have much to add (plus I already have a ‘pierrot’ clown character called Perri).

But when this prompt ‘puppet’ came up, I was thinking of doing fan art of Guillermo del Toro‘s Pinocchio (which is awesome, and you must watch it if you haven’t) and looking at Sebastian cricket made me think of this bee clown again. So instead, I re-vamped her look and made her a sort of puppet. Whether she is a puppet or her act is pretending to be a puppet, I haven't decided yet.

I’m still toying with looks and colours. I’ll have to come back to her at some point!
